I have made the same mistake multiple times, haha.

But I would day the same thing, there should be a plug to jump, and the CEL should flash denoting the code being thrown.

Ah, 90-91 tegs have an LED that lights up on the ECU, 92-93 reads like 94+

so what do you mean that i need to jump the plug? whats the cel?

A CEL is short for C.heck E.ngine L.ight.

You need to jump the plug, I.E. put a piece a wire, or even a paperclip, between the two contacts to make a circuit. Your light will then flash, and the number of flashes=your code. You then can determine why it is illuminated.

if you leave the wire/paper clip when you're not throwing a code, does the light stay on? or blink? or short out something??

If you dont have any codes, it wont spit anything out. I believe it only outputs the flashes when the key is in the ON position. Im not sure if it continues when the car is turned over. I assume there would not be any damage to the electrical system, though I dont know.

cuz if there's no drawbacks on leaving it in, i say leave one in all the time so when you do throw a CEL, it'll tell you automatically...

 

[macdman]

do i have to take off the plate covering the ecm or is the plug right there. because i dont see it and i dk know were to look.

Seriously? You would be able to see the light. There would be a panel on the ECU that you would be able to see through if you have it. Otherwise the CEL on your cluster will flash.

Go to that link, read it 3 times.

not sure on the teggy as mine is obd0 so i just look at the led on the ecu but on my old eh9 which was obd1 it was tucked up under the dash to the right of the glove box. there were two blue plugs with green covers over the wires. a 3-pin and a 2-pin. the 2-pin is the one you want to jump.

ok so i am a little slow. haha sorry for posting up 2 forums. but so i jumped the plug and the check engine light blinks, but heres how it reads and i have know idea what it means. it will turn off and the turn on, be a long one and theann it will blink twice short. so is that a code 12 or is that 2?
